I started out renting a modest in-law that came with furniture, ate out mostly on social occasions, bought clothes at discount stores.

When River Forest sold for $550k, the holding costs and interest ate up all of the profit leaving us without the construction start up costs (HML works on reimbursement).

We were able to keep cost low, but it ate up every single weekend for almost a year.

JUST SAVE THE MONEY DONT GET TO CREATIVE SPECIALLY THE WAY YOU ATE DOING IT.

Hi DavidLooks like a great initiative, i am based in Australia and find that making contact with an realestate agent in KC very frustrating The majority of agents tend to want phone contact but because of our locality and time difference email is our prefered way to communicate.I currently have a rented property that has been hastle free but now my agent has advised she is leaving KC, What a nightmare finding her in the first place.The property is located at E 40th st,Kc, MO 64130Any assistance you can offer will br greatly appreciated.I would offer my email address but this is not allowed unfortunatelyCheers Lance 

I will also say I ate the fact that in Mass your tenants have more rights to your property than you do. 

If you are dead even on it, and it's reasonably low miles and say less than $10-15k balance, you have probably already ate the losses, so there's not a whole lot to be gained unless you're not going to drive any more.

@Anthony MiddletonNot an issue UNTIL she dies not pay rent.So you ate saying the if she didn't kickboxing her BF, everything would be OK?

We worked our asses off, took public transit to work for 8 years while never even owning a car, ate literally ramen and whatever Restaurant.com coupons could get us on special occasions.

I was watching a Ted Talk with a professor from an IVY league school, lecturing on how bad gentrification is.
